Premack was alone, but was found a few minutes after the incident by two other cyclists also taking part in the event.

He was hit in the forearm and suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Premack says he originally thought the explosions going off next to him were firecrackers, but then felt his forearm “blow up” and blood rolling down his leg.

He started pedaling faster to escape and saw a dark coloured vehicle drive away from pull out near the shooting scene.

Premak says he underwent surgery to repair his right elbow, and the injury will take some time to heel.

He has not returned to work since.

Investigators say the attack was not targeted and is an isolated incident.

Other ride participants reported two separate incidents where two men in a dark coloured pickup threw objects at them as they drove by. Police are now looking for these two individuals in order to eliminate them as potential suspects.

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call the Lytton RCMP at 250-455-2225 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
